Executive Summary Hazelwood is a City of Pittsburgh neighborhood of 5,033 residents (2010 Census) located along the northern shore of the , approximately four miles from . The neighborhood developed over 100 years ago, shaped by several steel and coke-making plants located in and around the community. In recent decades, Hazelwood has lost its manufacturing base, experienced population decline, physical abandonment, and weak demand for housing.

This report presents information on the current condition of the Hazelwood community across a broad range of indicators. In this report, data for Hazelwood includes the combined totals for both the Hazelwood and neighborhoods as defined by the City of Pittsburgh.

Hazelwood had disproportionately smaller shares of young adults (ages 20-34), when compared to the City of Pittsburgh. While the combined population was majority-white, the community had a larger share of African American population when compared to Pittsburgh. Nearly one in three households in the two neighborhoods contained a person under age 18 compared to 1 in 5 in the City, and the majority of these households were female-headed, with no husband present. Compared to the City of Pittsburgh, households in Hazelwood had lower incomes, and residents (especially children) were more- likely to be poor.

A number of indicators included in this report strongly suggest Hazelwood’s housing market suffers from a lack of demand. Prices are extremely low (sales under $10,000 are common), the pace of sales trails the City, and low levels of mortgage originations and falling homeownership rates suggest that much of the market activity is being driven by investors through cash transactions. Hazelwood’s levels of property tax delinquency are double the City of Pittsburgh’s. The lack of residential demand can also be seen in comparatively higher levels of vacant land and rising numbers of unoccupied housing units. Over one in four of Hazelwood’s parcels are now vacant, and one in five housing units lack an occupant in a neighborhood where most housing is over a century old.

Crime rates in Hazelwood have fallen since 2005. Rates of property crime trailed the City, but the neighborhood’s rate of violent crime continued to exceed Pittsburgh’s. Voter turnout was in-line with the City’s trends, and was strongest for presidential elections. Turnout was lowest in years with a mayoral or county executive race.

13 percent of Hazelwood residents did not complete a high school education, compared to seven percent of City residents. This may be a factor in the residents’ comparatively low levels of labor force participation and lower earnings. Over two-thirds of the neighborhoods’ children attended a Pittsburgh Public School. Half of all working residents commuted to a job in the City of Pittsburgh, with many traveling to Downtown Pittsburgh and . Less than 30 percent of those working in the neighborhood were City residents.

Introduction This report presents a picture of the City of Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood community, which includes the neighborhoods of Hazelwood and Glen Hazel (Figure 1). Following decades of population decline and physical abandonment, there is a renewed interest in the community by many regional stakeholders, including The Heinz Endowments, the sponsor of this report.

Hazelwood developed as an industrial Figure 1. Map of Hazelwood, Glen Hazel, and the City of neighborhood in the last two decades Pittsburgh of the 19thcentury, much like neighboring communities along the Monongahela River. Many immigrants settled in Hazelwood to make a living in the neighborhood’s coke mill and nearby steel plants, and shaped the character of the neighborhood in the first half of the 20th century. The adjacent community of Glen Hazel was originally developed as housing for defense workers in the 1940’s, and has been subsequently redeveloped several times as a public housing community by the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh.

Data Notes Data from this report came from federal, state, and local data sources, including:

 U.S. Census Bureau;  U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development;  U.S. Postal Service;  Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council;  Allegheny County;  City of Pittsburgh; and the  Pittsburgh Public Schools.

Data can vary considerably from year to year for small geographic areas, such as neighborhoods and census tracts. For that reason, we often average data over three years to reduce the variability inherent in reporting change over time for small areas.

This document reports the combined totals for the Hazelwood and Glen Hazel neighborhoods except indicators involving residential property sales, mortgage originations, and mortgage foreclosures. These indicators are not applicable to public housing communities such as Glen Hazel. For this reason, only data for the Hazelwood neighborhood is reported for these three measures.

Changes in Census Tract boundaries in 2010 now result in the inclusion of Pittsburgh’s neighborhood in Tract 5629, which also includes part of Hazelwood. Because data for the 2006- 10 American Community Survey is not released for geographies smaller than Census Tracts, Hazelwood data presented in this report from the 2006-10 American Community Survey include Hays.

About the University Center for Social and Urban Research The University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) was established in 1972 to serve as a resource for researchers and educators interested in the basic and applied social and behavioral sciences. As a hub for interdisciplinary research and collaboration, UCSUR promotes a research agenda focused on the social, economic and health issues most relevant to our society. UCSUR maintains a permanent research infrastructure available to faculty and the community with the capacity to: (1) conduct all types of survey research; (2) carry out regional econometric modeling; (3) analyze qualitative data using state-of-the-art methods; (4) obtain, format, and analyze spatial data; (5) acquire, manage, and analyze large secondary and administrative data sets; and (6) design and carry out descriptive, evaluation, and intervention studies.

The Pittsburgh Neighborhood and Community Information System (PNCIS) is a project based at UCSUR. The PNCIS serves the Pittsburgh region through the collection, maintenance, analysis, and provision of neighborhood and property-based data. Over 600 people have been trained to use the PNCIS to support efforts to reduce blight, promote neighborhood investment, and revitalize communities in the Pittsburgh area. Key partners include the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Partnership for Neighborhood Development. The PNCIS is also a partner of the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP), a collaborative effort by the Urban Institute and 35 local partners to further the development and use of neighborhood information systems in policymaking and community building.

Key Findings: Population  In 2010, 18 percent of Hazelwood’s population was between the ages of 20 and 34. In the City of Pittsburgh, 31 percent of all residents were in the same age Figure 2. Hazelwood Population by Age, 2010 group. 27 percent of residents were under age 20 or over age 55. (Table 1, Figure 2).

 45 percent of Hazelwood’s population was African American in 2010, compared to 26 percent of the City’s 2010 population. Among residents under age 18, 62 percent were African-American (Table 2).

 30 percent of Hazelwood households had a resident under 18 years old, compared to 20 percent Source: U.S. Census Bureau of all 2010 City households (Table 3).

 In 2010, 61 percent of the neighborhood’s households with children under age 18 were headed by a female householder, with no husband present. In the City of Pittsburgh, 45 percent of households with children were female-headed (Table 4).

 Households in Hazelwood Figure 3. Hazelwood Households by Income, 2006-10 earned less than households (Constant 2010 Dollars) in the City and County between 2006 and 2010. 52 percent of Hazelwood households earned less than $30,000 per year on average compared to 43 percent of City households. 16 percent of neighborhood households had an annual income below $10,000 (Table 5, Figure 3).

 Nearly one in four (24 Figure 4. Hazelwood Population in Poverty by Age, 2006-10 percent) of Hazelwood households were living in poverty in the 2006-2010 period. The City’s poverty rate was 22 percent over the same period (Table 6).

The neighborhood’s youngest residents were much more likely to be living in poverty, as 41 percent of Hazelwood residents under age 18 were in poverty Source: U.S. Census Bureau compared to 20 percent of those aged 18-64, and 13 percent of residents age 65 and over (Table 6, Figure 4).

Key Findings: Housing, Markets, and Real Estate  Hazelwood’s housing sales prices were four to five times less than Figure 5: Hazelwood Residential Sales by Price, 2010 the City of Pittsburgh, with a median price of $5,700 and an average price of $26,129 in 2010 (Table 9). Only 15 percent of all neighborhood properties sold for over $50,000 in 2010 (Table 10, Figure 5).

 Loan originations to owner-occupants in Hazelwood were slightly below the City’s share of loans to owner-occupants (Table 12). A higher share of loans in Hazelwood were made to African Americans when compared to the City (Table 13), though this share of total loans remains disproportionately low compared to the neighborhood’s African- American population. Loan amounts and borrower income also were less than the City overall (Table 14).

 In Hazelwood, the homeownership rate has fallen from 60 percent in 1980 to 50 percent in 2010 (Table 15). 74 percent of these owner occupied units were held by a white resident (Table 16).

Hazelwood and City of Pittsburgh Properties / Sales 2008-10 of housing turnover, as the ratio of residential properties to sales averaged 22 to 1 between 2008 and 2010. Housing researcher Alan Mallach suggests that in communities with a ratio of 15 to 1 or more some properties entering the market will not be absorbed under normal Source: Allegheny County market conditions (Table Figure 10. Hazelwood and City of Pittsburgh Sales / Mortgage 28, Figure 9). 1 Originations, 2008-10

 The ratio of sales to mortgage originations in Hazelwood is much higher than the City, suggesting that a large number of the neighborhood’s properties are being purchased by investors in cash transactions (Table 29, Figure 10).2 Source: FFIEC and Allegheny County

Key Findings: Physical Conditions  Hazelwood’s 982 vacant parcels account for 27 percent of all parcels in the neighborhood. About one in four of these vacant properties were owned by a public entity early in 2010. In the City of Pittsburgh, 18 percent of all parcels are vacant (Table 30). Many of these vacant properties are scattered throughout the Hazelwood community.

 Vacancy can also be Figure 11. Hazelwood Vacant Housing Units 1980-2010 measured by unoccupied housing units. In Hazelwood, the share of vacant housing units in the neighborhood has grown from 7 percent in 1980 to 19 percent in 2010. In the City of Pittsburgh, the increase was less-severe, rising from 7 percent to 13 percent over the same Source: U.S. Census Bureau thirty-year time period (Table 31, Figure 11).

 Postal Service records Figure 12. Hazelwood Length of Residential Vacancy, 2010 Q3 show that 70 percent of Hazelwood’s vacant residential addresses have been unoccupied for over one year or more in 2010 (Table 33, Figure 12). The comparable figure for the City of Pittsburgh is 83 percent.
